The number of non-locatable asylum-seekers in the UK stands at 124,000 or as repeatedly reported in the news the same amount of people as the population of Cambridge. These cases have found their way to a ‘controlled archives’, which has become a dumping ground for cases.
Of course it is impossible for border officials to conduct traces for these missing people through Credit Reference Agencies. However, surely they could follow the same lines of enquires as a debtor trace agent in order to locate a number of the 124,000 missing.
Everyone leaves a trail of some description even if they don’t want to be found. One does wonder how much effort borders officials have put in to finding these missing individuals? It is a fact after all the vast majority of people who move do so within a 10 mile radius of their last known address. Otherwise they move towards family and friends, which one would hope there are records for.
